IF - Blur - JukeBox Johnson


This is a concept artwork of Jukebox Johnson, a rambling old jukebox who can't play good records until he sells his soul (records) to the devil, based on the tale of the blues legend Robert Johnson. Here he is travelling on a freight train with his old pal 'Wireless' and the landscape travelling passed them in a blur. Slightly tenuous link indeed!

Hunter S Thompson



A recent illustration of the gonzo writer...and a few of his quotes...

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.

I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Character Development 2


This was a further coloured up version of the same character, quite a different feel.

Character Development


This is a character I was developing for a book but unfortunately its too simple and young for the target group, so I thought I'd store him in the character archive draw for a rainy day. I liked the beard blending into the chin.
